Norchel Tingson Biography

*INTRODUCTION* I am Norchel Vince Gomez Tingson. I’m a pure Filipino who was originally born and raised from the beautiful city of love, Iloilo. My mom’s name is Maria Ratchel Villanueva Gomez and my daddy is Noe Dagunan Tingson. On 15th November 1992, there started the first chapter of my life. *FAMILY LIFE* In a very early age, I was neither suspicious nor curious about the lonesome lifestyle I had. It was lonely having me as the only child of the family. I could not play outdoors, go with my neighbors and just be a kid. My parents let me learn how to be responsible enough for myself without any other’s help. Yes, I did have fun with my cousins and nanny but it was a different feeling when you were surrounded by several children that could really make you happy. As I grew up, the voice of curiosity helped me realize that my family was bearing a little problem- a tiny conflict which would badly create a huge change in my life. Except for being alone, I also discovered that my parents were planning to separate. It was then that I knew my family wouldn’t be whole again. I was hopeless. As a child, I could not do anything. My mother was so down while my father was nowhere with his so called “third party”. I hoped there would be another chance. Unfortunately, due to the enormous waves that came crashing our family’s foundations mom and dad decided to make a legal dissolution of marriage. We name it “DIVORCE” (I guess we all recognize it) . I know this really sounds personal but it can encourage or open the doors of those weaken people to something better for their families. Actually, there are lots of certain reasons why my family ended up like that. I am pretty sure God has a plan for me. It is, indeed, a sad thing to talk about and definitely the saddest thing that ever came to me. However, I’m a strong person and I know how to live life right now. I’ve moved on and I’ve accepted everything that happened to me. At the moment, I have three siblings in my father’s side. Mom has found her partner too. As you can see, life hasn’t ended yet. It’s just the beginning. Every single detail which has occurred was a lesson for me. I may not be assured what fate can do but I’ve learned that not all tings can go my way. If I wanted to travel back to my past journeys and return to those sweet memories we’ve been, I could not. What’s important to this very instant of time is to keep stepping forward for Life is not meant to be turned backwards. *SCHOOL* I spent my elementary and first two years in high school at Sun Yat Sen High School Iloilo. After my second year of high, I transferred to Chung Hwa Middle School Brunei due to particular complications. If you have noticed, I was drawn to Chinese schools because my parents have believed that more and more Chinese speaking people are in demand nowadays, even for the future. Well, I was studying Chinese Language since I was small but I’m not really fluent when it comes to verbal communications. Perhaps I was never delighted about it at all. Currently, I am living in Brunei with my mom and step-father. Getting used to Bruneians’ way of life, I’m having quite of a serious difficulty in striving to obtain high marks. Their standards here are higher than my former school’s. I was, at no time, as tiresome as before until I reached this point. But still I am grateful having such a nice experience with new individuals, friends and environment. Oftentimes, I think of people who are holding heartbreaks in their lives. Having a broken family is not easy. Also, being in an unfamiliar surrounding is not that simple. Have faith in God. He won’t leave you. He’s always there to help. Whatever problems you may be conveying, pray and he will listen. I’m glad to share the whole story of my life to you. Just take this as a moral to inculcate within your hearts and minds. Thank you for giving me this great opportunity. Please feel free to ask.)

The Best Poem Of Norchel Tingson

Glint

Winter seasons, sunlight’s coming,
Summer falls and twilights gone
Darkness remains conscious in the mind,
Without a conception of its absence,
A certain opening behind those woods
Cannot even take a glimpse on it
Secrecy as it is,
Possesses a number of nothing
Though he holds the vision and will-power,
It divulges no remedy
Pain relies on him
As if it would direct to the depth of his lot.
Flashes of clamor chains the flow of waves
Drawing nearer and nearer to him
It haunts him to the utmost part
Of the crooked path he had chosen
Chased by the haste of grinning storms
He seeks the narrow road within those hazy gates
As I gaze to the very tip of his eyes
That bears misery and grief,
I sense his sudden downfall to the dimmest pit of earth.
Searched for the waters
That led to the rivers and seas,
He discovers himself in vacancy.
And so his escape from the bore lingers.
Awakened and freed from the bondage of guilt,
I found myself next to him in the same boat.
I was in a state of shock.
Threatened,
Nervous,
Startled,
Overwhelmed with sorrow
I procure the surge of his emotions.
Until to this very instant of time,
I am conveying his burden inside me.
We ended being caged
Could not flee from the ravages we had caused.
